    Well, I'll tell you this: if you've read the 8lbs Gorilla thread and the devs comments on it that they they're at #90 on iTunes and want us to "get our friends to drop a buck" so they can do an update and add a leader board.... don't hold your breath about the lag :(

    Here it is, but you'll have to skim it for the comment from the dev:
    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?threadid=18447

    I hope/trust its tongue in cheek, but don't think so, which I find rediculous being an arm of a publicly traded company EA. idk, still like the game and workin on the score, so watch out!

    Aww that's not cool :( The games good but to hold updates hostage in order to get more sales is upsetting. Wouldn't you think after making the game better ala updates it would have a bigger appeal to others that may want to buy it? Ah well guess that's why I'm not in the business :p

    Glad to see I'm still on top though :cool: songkranw gave me a run for my money! I might just have to get another high score :rolleyes:

    Oh so how does the timer work? 00:00:00:00 if it was just three rather than four it would make sense to me but for some reason it looks like hours:don't know: mins: seconds.... what is it really lol

    edit: Well I'm spoiled now as I have the 3GS and I can say no lag on that. When zombies surround you the screen does go nearly blank but just a small circle around you. I did notice when in the higher levels and a bunch of zombies everywhere there are some that have just frozen in place. It's kind of funny running by them as they just stand there not moving

    Karma's a bitch :p

    Man, that's a great score! I think its like 3 sec countdown when they have you surrounded.

    I think a plausible tip is to sit on a target when it's heavy, and have them jump you, then tap/jump just before the bomb, and the bomb doesn't affect you.
    I keep thinking that's working when I'm on the edge of the target, yet inside, and expect to die but don't. Does it seem that way to you??

    New high here:

    35K !!!! You !@#@! :mad::mad::mad:

    Alright I won't let my iPod Gen2 lose to technology... JUST YOU WAIT!!!!

    (Dam* that would take more than 20 Min per game. Internet sure a scary place.)

    This game sure took me play more than 4 hours now. So it is $0.26/ Hr.!! :eek:

    When you are swarmed- try shaking the device as opposed to tapping. That also shakes them off and you're able to keep your finger on the screen.

    As for holding updates hostage... we need to show the game has some staying power to justify an update. We've moved onto game #2, but will perform an update as opposed to doing game #3 if Z&M hits in the top 10 of Top Paid Apps. We have some cool ideas for what to work in and would love to up the zombie killing to volume eleven for you!

    Ah cool I didn't know about shaking the screen. I just tap towards the direction I want to go and usually end up safe :) I understand about the update seeing that you're already moving onto game 2 and probably thinking about ideas for the 3rd! Do you have a high score or would it just embarrass us ;)

    Where is Z&M in regards to the sales chart. I just checked my phone and see it's not within the top 50 :(

    Anyway just in case someone thought they could beat me. Here is another top dog :eek: and yes once you get into a high score challenge the casual aspect of games quickly go out the door haha and indeed I have played this round for a lot longer than 20 mins.
